Katie Holmes was the Belle of the Ball on May 5 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala in New York City! The brunette beauty, 35, wore a canary yellow off-the-shoulder Marchesa gown, which immediately sparked comparisons to the iconic Disney princess Belle from Beauty and the Beast.

"Oh so that's what happened to Belle after years of captivity in the castle with the beast #Metball2014 #KatieHolmes," @_monsieuryates tweeted.

"I mean obviously I did Katie's #MetBall look like a hundred times better," the popular blog Suri's Burn Book tweeted, referencing a throwback picture of Holmes' daughter Suri Cruise in a Belle costume.
